Small wonder -- Saying grace -- Knowing our place -- The patience of a saint -- Seeing scarlet -- Setting free the crabs -- A forest's last stand -- Called out -- A fist in the eye of God -- Lily's chickens -- The one-eyed monster, and why I don't let him in -- Letter to a daughter at thirteen -- Letter to my mother -- Going to Japan -- Life is precious, or it's not -- Flying -- Household words -- What good is a story? -- Marking a passage -- Taming the beast with two backs -- Stealing apples -- And our flag was still there -- God's wife's measuring spoons.

In her new essay collection, the beloved author of Prodigal Summer moves from one of history's darker moments to present an extended love song to the world we still have. From its opening parable gleaned from recent news about a lost child saved in an astonishing way, the book moves on to consider a world of surprising and hopeful prospects. Small Wonder is a hopeful examination of the people we seem to be, and what we might yet make of ourselves.
